"This mobilisation of the European Union Solidarity Fund was in accordance with the provisions of the Financial Regulation, which stipulates that the Commission may table draft amending budgets in the event of unavoidable, exceptional or unforeseen circumstances, and that the maximum amount that may be mobilised is EUR 1 billion. Its aim is to contribute to the repair of infrastructure. The direct damage to Spain’s Murcia region has been estimated by the Commission, on the basis of calculations provided by the Spanish authorities, at a total of EUR 842.8 million. In the case of Italy’s Veneto region, direct damage has been estimated at EUR 3.7 billion. The total amount of aid proposed in Draft amending budget No 7/2011 is EUR 37 979 875 – EUR 21 070 950 for Spain and EUR 16 908 925 for Italy – a small proportion, therefore, of the total estimated damage.
We voted for this aid. However, we are bound to highlight at this point the need to once and for all set out a comprehensive and effective EU framework for disaster prevention, as proposed in the report on this issue, for which I was rapporteur. As is pointed out there, investment in prevention represents a considerable saving on the material and human damage resulting from disasters."@en1
